With plans from $14.99 to $17.99, you can save up to $180 a year by canceling a subscription you don't use.

How to Cancel Book of the Month Subscription on Desktop (Website)

Canceling your Book of the Month subscription has to be done on their website. For some reason, the option isn't available in their mobile app. The process is pretty straightforward, but they will ask you why you're leaving.

1 Log In to Your Account

First, head over to the Book of the Month website and log into your account. You can't cancel through the app, which is a little frustrating, so you have to use a browser.

2 Go to 'My Account'

Once you're in, look for your name or the account icon, usually in the top-right corner. Click on it and select 'My Account' from the dropdown menu.

3 Find the Subscription Section

On your account page, you'll need to find the subscription management area. It's usually labeled something like 'Subscription' or 'Membership Details'.

4 Click 'End Membership'

This is the important part. Look for a link or button that says 'End Membership' or 'Cancel Subscription'. They might try to convince you to pause instead, so be ready for that.

5 Confirm Your Cancellation

You'll probably have to click through a survey or a couple of confirmation screens. Just keep confirming that you want to cancel until you see a final message that your membership has been ended. Make sure you get to that final confirmation screen.

Cancel Book of the Month Subscription with email

You can email Member Services at [email protected]. Expect a response within 1-2 business days. It's a decent option if you're not in a hurry.

For more immediate help, you can call them at 1-888-781-2665. Their hours are typically Monday to Friday, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time. Be prepared for a potential wait, especially during busy hours.

Before you cancel, know this: Book of the Month doesn't offer refunds for charges that have already gone through. If you cancel, your membership stays active until the end of the billing period you paid for. The good news is you can pause your membership for 1, 2, or 3 months if you just need a break. Also, make sure to use any book credits you have, as they will expire after you cancel.
